famill00 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2013 For July, those of us in the SMB/LMB tying club are going to be tying Hoppers. All swap rules apply: * Send your flies in a container that is crushproof. Keep in mind that some of these flies may be larger than the ones you send in. Please send an appropriate size container. *Toetag your flies with your screen name and the name of the fly. Also put on there "LMB/SMB Club" because it will help keep these flies separate from any other swaps. * Include a self addressed stamped envelope for the return of your flies. Please do NOT send something that is metered. You must use real stamps or the post office will not accept it. I know, stupid rule on their part, but we have to follow it. * Either post the recipe here or PM it to me. I will, each month, photo each fly and put the recipe with it on this thread. 1) Me - Swapmaster - MadamX2) Zachxbass3) Eugward4) Eastern fly - RECEIVED5) Joman - RECEIVED6) Rich mc - RECEIVED -Forrest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
